Rek-O-Kut Rondine 3
The RONDINE 3 provides 33, 45, and 78 rpm and nine other fixed speeds for vintage discs and half-speed mastering. The very small DC belt-drive motor and Lo-Noise power supply results in very low rumble and ultra-low hum.Arm height is adjustable for all discs. The Delrin platter is similar in composition to the actual discs played and provides them with excellent dampening. The reproduced sound is neutral.
The large diameter spindle bearing is both low friction and low noise. Its Rek-O-Kut TranScribe arm is of low mass with low friction bearings for audiophile performance. Suspension is provided by four vibration absorbent feet (Vibrapods). Vertical cut discs are playable with an extra modified headshell/cartridge. Supplied with dust cover, and 12-speed Super Strobe for speeds from 68.5 to 90 rpm. Not supplied with phono cartridge or styli. These must be purchased separately. Recommended for both audiophile and vintage records.
